Chapter 674
Bai Peiluan had also seen the video where Wang Zimei was maligning Bai Lanwu as the illegitimate daughter of the Bai family, and it had so upset her that her blood pressure was constantly rising.
She thought of how her elder sister had to endure Wang Zimei’s slander simply to protect her, it infuriated her to no end. How could she face her sister with any semblance of dignity?
Upon hearing that her sister and brother-in-law had been picked up by their son, Bai Peiluan rushed to the entrance of Ye Junqing’s villa, waiting for Bai Lanwu and Song Chuanqi’s arrival.
Without further ado, she turned to Ye Baixiu and said, “Baixiu, there is something I need to announce later. If you can accept it, we will carry on as usual; if you can’t, then just divorce me!”
Hearing the word “divorce” made Ye Baixiu’s eyebrows furrow in worry, “What on earth are you talking about?”
“The truth. If you can’t accept me, then just divorce me. Today, I have to announce something!”
...
She couldn’t stand by and watch her sister be scolded anymore. It would weigh on her conscience for the rest of her life!
Before Ye Baixiu could reply, Bai Peiluan had already looked away, her anger and unease preventing her from wanting to face him.
At this moment, Ye Junqing’s motorcade came slowly forward, stopping in front of the couple.
Upon seeing Bai Lanwu emerge from the car, Bai Peiluan immediately ran over, altering her usual term for her to elder sister, “Sister, was your journey smooth? I’m sorry you were put out.”
Bai Lanwu, hearing Bai Peiluan refer to her as ‘elder sister,’ corrected her with a smile, “Peiluan, you got it wrong.”
“What do you mean, ‘wrong’? There’s nothing wrong with it. You are my sister.” noveldrama
When everyone had alighted from their vehicles, Bai Peiluan took a deep breath, made up her mind and announced, “Baixiu, Junqing, I must declare something here. I’m not the eldest daughter of the Bai family, Lanwu is. I was the one who married into the Ye family as her replacement. This secret has burdened my heart for so many years. I can’t bear it anymore. No one should accuse my sister of being the Bai family’s illegitimate daughter. You all listen clearly, I’m the illegitimate daughter of the Bai family!”
Having said this, a feeling of intense relief rushed over her. It was as if she could finally admit her crime. She felt truly honest and upright for the first time.
Ye Junqing, who had just stepped out of the car: “…”
Ye Xingguang was also stunned, sharing the same expression as Junqing: “…”
Ye Baixiu’s expression remained calm throughout. He had guessed what his wife was about to announce.
However, Bai Peiluan was unaware that her husband already knew. She turned to Ye Baixiu, “Baixiu, if you can’t accept this, if you want a divorce, then divorce me. I don’t have a high-status identity anyway, I am just an illegitimate daughter – a lowly person.”
Bai Lanwu sighed, “Why did you have to do this? Wasn’t it agreed that we should bury this secret deep in the earth?”
“How can we bury it when people are pointing fingers at you? How can I live in peace with this on my conscience? Though I may be an illegitimate daughter, I still have my values. How could I stoop so low as to do such a thing?”
Bai Peiluan felt utterly humiliated in front of her sister.
Bai Lanwu’s voice remained gentle, “It’s not as serious as you think. This has nothing to do with you. It’s cold out, let’s go in. Chuanqi is still ill. We should avoid the cold wind. We’ll discuss this inside.”
Bai Peiluan felt even more ashamed, “Sister, you’re too kind. Okay, we’ll go in. Let’s go in first.”
Having said this, Bai Peiluan didn’t dare to look at Ye Baixiu. She immediately led Bai Lanwu into the house.
